Meetings at the Gahmen Civic Centre on the topic of 'Toxic Masculinity'

The Bürgerzentrum Gahmen, a renowned centre focusing on stereotypes, gender roles, privileges, and the question of 'toxic masculinity', is hosting two thought-provoking workshops in September.

On September 18, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, an event titled 'Men's Images and Their Impacts' will take place at the centre. This discussion, led by Matthias Gathof and Jana Müller from Spiegelbild - Political Education from Wiesbaden e.V., will cover the impacts of these concepts on family, partnership, workplace, and public life. The aim is to explore methods to recognize toxic masculinity and develop solutions and reflection opportunities in politics, education, equality, integration, and youth work. Registration for this event is required and can be done on the centre's website.

A separate workshop will take place the following day, September 19, from 8:30 AM to 4 PM. Matthias Gathof and Dr. Christian Lüdke will be leading this workshop, which focuses on examining patterns of toxic behaviour, reflecting personal action patterns, and developing pedagogical tools for practice. The aim is to provide new perspectives for working with men, fathers, and boys and to set impulses for health, development, and equality.

The Bürgerzentrum Gahmen, located at Kuemperheide 2, 44532 Lünen, received the 2025 Education Prize of the Kreis Unna. These workshops are a continuation of the centre's ongoing efforts to address issues related to stereotypes, gender roles, privileges, and 'toxic masculinity'.
